Yes thats true. I just tested the exact code I have on jsbin and it worked fine. http://jsbin.com/uhane source: http://jsbin.com/uhane/edit I wonder if there is a difference in the included JQuery library on jsbin and what jQuery currently has on their web site.
I will try to replace my local copy of jQuery and see if that resolves this issue. thanks. On Nov 17, 4:53 am, "Richard D.
